Customer Review: $400 Down the Drain
Summary: 1 Stars
I did quite a bit of research on stand mixers. Because the new Kitchen Aid was having problems and I wanted a 7 Quart mixer, I chose Delonghi.
After three months of moderate use, the attachments started falling out during mixing. I called Delonghi to find out where to bring my mixer for repair and they gave me the name of a Delonghi repair store about 30 minutes away. I dropped off the mixer and was notified by the store owner a week later that they could not figure out what was wrong and they could not repair it. I brought the mixer home and contacted Customer Service again. She said that I would have to ship the mixer to the next closest repair place, which is California, and pay for shipping. I asked her if the first place they recommended wasn't able to fix it, how would I know if it was worth sending it to California if I was going to get the same result. She said that I really didn't have a choice. NICE! The mixer was less than a year old when it broke. They will not replace it with a new one or insure me that their repair centers can actually fix it. How frustrating when you spend that kind of money on a namebrand like Delonghi - you would expect a great product and great service - that's definitely not the case. I have no choice but to send it to CA and hope for the best. I'll keep you posted.
Description of Delonghi DSM700 Stand Mixer
Delonghi 705 watt Stand Mixer with mini food processor and chopper - With quality, durability and reliability, this Italian-designed 5-qt. mixer is made for the demands of a professional chef and ideal for the busy home chef. Equipped with a powerful 705-watt motor, it's strong enough to knead yeast dough yet gentle enough to whisk a single egg. One distinguishing feature of the DeLonghi mixer is its unique mixing action whereby the beaters rotate in one direction while the beater socket rotates in another. The result is a thorough and perfect mixing each time. Included with the mixer is the flat beater for mixing batters and reducing beating time, the whisk tool for gently whisking eggs, creams and batter, the dough tool for easily kneading and mixing breads, and a Bonus Mini Food Processor and Chopper with four airtight jars. The stainless bowl has a detachable splash guard, perfect when adding flour or liquids. For changing the beaters or removing the bowl, an easy-turn mechanism lets you to lift the head of the mixer with minimal effort. An overload protection device keeps the mixer from overheating.Even occasional bakers will wonder how they ever got along without a stand mixer once they splurge on this 5-quart model. The mixer has a high-quality sleek white-and-silver diecast aluminum construction and a heavy-duty 705-watt motor for long-lasting wear. Six speeds plus a pulse button give bakers the ultimate control, so dishes turn out perfectly mixed every time. The stand mixer maintains its power and speed on the chosen setting regardless of how much dough or batter is in the stainless-steel mixing bowl, and the beater moves in what Delonghi describes as a "planetary" motion for more thorough mixing without leaving unstirred flour on the sides or bottom of the bowl. A transparent splash guard keeps batter in the bowl and off of countertops, but also lets you monitor mixing results and add ingredients through a side hatch. Three attachments are included with the mixer: a stainless-steel whisk for whipping mousses or egg whites for souffl?s or meringues; a nonstick dough hook for quicker kneading of bread and pastry doughs than is possible by hand; and a nonstick flat beater for mixing cake or cookie batter in record time. Four other concealed power outlets can run up to 12 other attachments, from a meat grinder to a pasta maker (sold separately). The mixer's head tilts upward for easy removal of the bowl or to change the attachment. To keep itself in working order, the unit has an overload protection device and shuts itself down if ingredients exceed the recommended bowl capacity. As an added bonus, this stand mixer comes with a mini food chopper and four lidded glass storage jars for prepping and storing baking ingredients in advance. Delonghi warranties the motor on this stand mixer for 10 years. --Cristina Vaamonde
